Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 381 Heavenly Soldiers
Right now, I can't describe how I feel in my heart.

pain?disgust?Or other emotions?In short, I only felt a bone-chilling chill, which froze my whole heart and blood.

I don't want to recall any more about what happened next.Lu Su moved swiftly, raising the knife and dropping it amidst the messenger's terrified voice.After the courier died completely, the blood turned black extremely quickly, and this black blood was poured into the ice where I was. Not long after, the things that tightly wrapped my legs really dissipated.

I climbed out of the ice cave, and Lu Su said: "It's not too late, get out." Next to the ice cave, there is the messenger's mutilated body and the head with not much flesh. , This scene will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

During the whole escape process, my brain almost stopped thinking. My subconscious mind told me that I should calm down and clear my mind at this moment, but the reality is that I can't think about anything.While walking, Lu Su explained that when he heard the screams and gunshots from above, he thought I was injured. Originally, Lu Su planned to come to the rescue alone, but Tofu had to come together, saying: "Old Chen also It's not a soft persimmon, something that can hurt him, it's definitely not a good thing, I'll go with you."

Speaking of this, Lu Su turned his head and smiled at me, saying: "You have a good brother, no matter what time, he will never give up on you." He may have said this to comfort me, but in fact, it did arouse me. Effect.Tofu's little heart was already very fragile, and he was so shocked by the scene just now that he didn't make a sound.When Lu Su said this, I calmed down a bit, patted Tofu on the shoulder, turned my head to comfort him, and said, "Don't think about it, the messenger is a dead person, we did this... to help him out. "

Of course, whether this is the case or not, I know in my heart.

I knew very well how much the messenger wanted to live.

I finally understood that in a comfortable environment, people will obey morality, but when they are placed in an extreme environment, they are no different from beasts.In the face of absolute survival, the shackles of morality are vulnerable.

Because of the marks left before, we did not take any wrong roads, and escaped very quickly. When we poked our heads out of the ice cave, we slid down along the pre-fixed rope.Jizi and the others were waiting below. Seeing me coming out, Jizi immediately stepped forward nervously and asked, "Where is Mr. Wu?"

Tofu answered, "It's not Wu Shui, he's not inside."

Feng Guishou on one side raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is that?"

Tofu was silent for a while, he didn't know whether it was from the cold or what, his face was pale and blue.Regarding the matter of the messenger, the three of us don't want to recall it anymore, let alone something worth sharing, so I continued, "A dead person I don't know may be someone from Master Zhao."

Feng Guishou seemed a little skeptical about this statement, so he took a deep look at me and didn't ask any further questions.Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the densely packed spiderweb-shaped ice caves in front of us, and said, "During the time you were away, I took someone to investigate the ice caves nearby, and I found something interesting." , he walked towards one of the ice caves, Tofu followed, and Lu Su was surrounded by others, asking about our experience in the ice cave.

He still looked calm and calm, and everything just now had no effect on him.I suddenly thought of a sentence: Shuibo Wuhen.

Lu Su is like a deep pool, calm on the surface, making people feel gentle and peaceful, but deep inside, everything can be swallowed up without leaving a trace.And the dumb man, just like the scimitar he used, was weird, cold, and sharp.

Feng Guishou led me to an ice cave, poked his head in, pointed to the side of the ice cave, and said, "Look, there is a mark here." , there is an artificially carved mark about one centimeter deep.

Since it is difficult to leave traces on the ice wall, just like I did before, the marks left were as simple as possible.The mark left in the ice cave is directly a vertical line, but the mark left here is an arc.

Feng Guishou continued: "We didn't have time to check the upper area, but in the lower area, we found a total of six ice caves with marks.

six?

I asked, "Is the mark left by the same person?"

Feng Guishou nodded.

From this point of view, the person who left the mark must have spent a long time exploring these ice caves, so in the end, why did he leave marks in these six ice caves?Does this represent danger or safety?

Who will leave this mark?

Is it Chen Ci returning to Old Man Zhao and his gang?
Where did the mute go?
I said, "Have you drilled into these six ice caves again?"

Feng Guishou nodded, and said that he had gone in, and there were signs all the way inside, but he didn't dare to go too deep, and backed out again, ready to wait for us to come back and make an idea together.

At this time, I thought again; would there still be those crimson soldiers in the ice caves that Lu Su talked about?
Will they come out of the ice hole and attack us?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this place is full of dangers. At this time, Lu Su also came to our side. After reading it, he couldn't help frowning. I asked him about the Heavenly Soldiers, and Lu Su gave such an explanation .

Tianbing originated from the technique of refining corpses in western Hunan.We used to stay in Yinyang Liubu Village, so we naturally know that the saying of expelling corpses in Xiangxi is not groundless.But Lu Su said that the expelled corpses were actually "trained". Corpse refinement is actually a technique for changing corpses and manipulating corpses.

The real origin of the art of refining corpses is not reliable, but it has been carried forward in the west of Hunan. In the traditional sense, it is divided into: walking, puppet, funeral, escape, earth, and sky, called Xingbing, puppet, mourning, Deserters and Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Soldiers are the highest level of corpse refining.

The reason why Lu Su thought that what we encountered were heavenly soldiers was based on my description and the runes on the heavenly soldiers at that time.In fact, those runes are the proof that the corpse has been refined.

These heavenly soldiers stationed in these ice caves are undoubtedly Pu Zhen's masterpiece.

In this way, I have encountered Xingbing anyway, that is, the things I saw in the corpse inn in Yinyang Liubu Village before. They are already very powerful, but they only belong to the lowest level Xingbing, so how much are the Xingbing? sharp?

Lu Su explained in a deep voice: "Heavenly soldiers are invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to water and fire, immortal, and will act according to the will of the corpse refiner. However, the heavenly soldiers are not so easy to refine, so the number should not be many."

I was secretly surprised when I heard it, and said, "Is there any way to deal with them? Don't we have to run for our lives when we see them?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "Otherwise? Now you should know what those messengers are for." I turned my thoughts, and suddenly felt a surge of anger in my heart. It's possible that old man Zhao already knew what was going on here. Condition?That's why we got some messengers in in advance, using the messenger's ability to continuously regenerate to hold back those heavenly soldiers?
This method is really cruel.

Immediately afterwards, I felt wrong again. How did old man Zhao know the situation in the Xuanbing tomb?
Thinking about it this way, I asked this question out.Tofu thought for a while, and said, "Could it be related to that map? Erye Zhao was the last person to see the statement. He might have something to hide from us."

Tofu's speculation is not impossible, but the dumb and Lu Su have both investigated the old man Zhao. I think their investigation is thorough enough. Could it be that there is something else they don't know?Suddenly, I thought of the three people who died in the hot spring lake, and our undisciplined team. I suddenly felt a buzzing in my mind, and I understood it all at once.

... It is not only old man Zhao who knows that there are heavenly soldiers here, but also the dumb ones!
Of course, the dumb information was probably found out from old man Zhao.But the mute's real intention in forming this seemingly meaningless team is... to use them as a shield at a critical moment!
I looked into Lu Su's smiling eyes and said coldly, "Do you know about this?"

Lu Su said, "What's the matter?"

I said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, it's about the Heavenly Soldiers."

Lu Su smiled and said, "If I knew, would I still let you in alone? Would I take the risk to save you? I didn't understand until I saw the Heavenly Soldiers. Wu Shui is... cruel and merciless." , unfathomable."

Tofu also wants to understand the reason of the matter now. We discussed it at the beginning. If you are dumb to dig mushrooms, you must at least hire some experts. , also turned the corner, shivered, and said: "Old Chen, the dumb took you in because he regarded you as a relative and took me in... Maybe it was also for...Damn it, that bastard!"

Immediately afterwards, Tofu said angrily: "If I had known, when he fainted, he should have been strangled to death." After thinking about it, probably because of me, he said: "It's fine if you don't strangle him, you should kill him." They should be tied up for interrogation."

I said: "I knew it earlier... How could there be so many people who knew it earlier? If everything could be known earlier, then all the problems would not be a problem. Now we should think about where the mute went... He must have slipped into an ice cave Now that he knows the environment of this fight, he will definitely choose the right route."
